from me to you

from me to you and its not
giddy and exciting
like waterguns and giggling
its like the dark wen i feel paper thin
against you
too lightweight to stand away from you
it feels the dimmer, deeper
corners of me to you.
the important and forgotten and startling
ones that take their thrones
when tickles and teasing and kissing
has all dropped tired off of our faces and hands.
more important to kno than to understand,
to see the shadow running along
the ground when we cant even find the stars.
in love is lost in
the darkness from me to you
that we should listen to on a long drive
and turn up too loud to talk over.
and live our part of love
apart from in love with you
i cant stand apart from you.
